What are you plugging right now?
If you need a good night out, you have to buy tickets to Silo Theatre Company’s Boys Will Be Boys on at Q Theatre September 8 to 24, and if you’re looking for your next binge watch, jump on TVNZ on demand and search ‘Auckward Love’ – so you can be all caught up before season 2 comes out ... #siloboyswillbeboys #auckwardlove @silotheatre @auckwardlove
What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
All the people I love in one room.
Which living person do you most admire?
Sophie Roberts – for all the reasons you could ever think of. She is Silo Theatre’s artistic director, and director of the show I’m in.
What’s your most embarrassing moment?
Ohh too many to count! But in season 2 of Auckward Love the writers made me do all sorts of things, but being in a sex shop talking about dildos for a whole day was more than a blush moment for sure.
Ever stolen anything?
Yes – but my mum gave it back. I was 5 and it was very shiny ...
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
My hair is very fine ... I have always wanted big hair like Julia Roberts big ... it is my quest in life to try all volumising products.
Which living person do you most despise and why?
Rose – for not having a heart.
What life lesson would you pass on to your children?
Learn empathy, love like there’s no tomorrow (because sometimes there isn’t), don’t let fear stop you and look after your skin. (I know that’s more than one haha.)
What job would you do other than your own and why?
Well I have three jobs, but one I have my eye on is being a director – because let’s be honest we need more female directors. – Mike Alexander
